So excited to see their new programs. Seems they are starting the season as normal, showing programs early and then using the tour potentially to give the programs mileage.

A clever move for WP - just to remind everyone they are not gone and they are serious about competing the second half of the season.

Also a good opportunity to get feedback on the programs so they aren’t rushing around in January - especially with the new judging system. It’s a go
od opportunity to see what GOE the judges are actually going to give various things (although to date, the variance of +5 to +1 on the same elements really isn’t helping a lot of skaters understand).

Another GP Update

Kevin Reynolds of Canada has been announced as the replacement for Jorik Hendrickx at Skate America.

Alaine Chartrand of Canada has been announced as the replacement for Nicole Rajicova at Skate America.

Nicole Rajicova’s spot at GP Finland is going as another host spot to Finland, which means that both Viveca Lindfords get a spot.

“Andrew is very methodical and structured and so good at routine. He can balance it out and say ‘this is the work we have to do today,’ and that consistently is totally necessary in the sport and in training.” - Kaitlyn Weaver
